When you start something new, you make progress—then, sooner or later, you feel like hitting a plateau. It’s inevitable.

Hitting a plateau, however, is not a bad thing. It’s a clear sign that you’ve made significant progress so far. You just need something different—an idea, approach, or mindset—to go further.

Remember that hitting a plateau is also part of your long-term progress. No matter what you do—growing your business, losing weight, building relationship, you name it—don’t stop. Keep learning, and do experiments.

There is no limit to your progress. It ain’t over till you stop working on it.

What ‘success’ means varies from person to person. Your definition of success doesn’t have to be the same as the one of someone else.

The way to reach success also varies from individual to individual. Something that worked for someone else won’t always work for you.

One important point to remember: each one of us is on the way to success, no matter what it means or how we get there. There is no need to compare yours with others. Go your own way. Believe it and never stop taking actions.

It’s not always a bad thing. For example, if you want to stop an impulsive purchase, force yourself to write down all options for the item you want to buy. Once you start listing them, you would think, “Well, it might not be the right time to buy this stuff. Let’s stop working on this boring task and do something else.”

That is one of the weird ways how our brain works. Too much thinking and planning often take away your brain power to take actions.

So don’t think too much when you want to do something good for you. Figure out one action, and do it impulsively. Keep focusing on the most important thing without overthinking. Then you’ll gain momentum very quickly.
